Hi there, I just came across the same problem. It's easy to reproduce:
- I'm logged into a Debian system using ssh. My locale is en_US.utf8. - If I enter some German umlauts echo äöüß I get the correct output: äöüß - Then I start screen and I can only safely enter äöü, when pressing ß things get garbled. I took screen-4.0.2.tar.gz from a GNU mirror and recompiled myself and it works, so this looks like some Debian patch breaks this. HTH! Tino.
